The Occut-Tech Armory

I just put up September's first release at www.rpgnow.com. The first volume of the Techno-Magic Unleashed series is entitled the Occult-Tech Armory, and focuses on sci-fantasy and space opera magic items. Future books in the series will deal with campaign setting specific items for Otherverse America, Heavy Future and eventually Psi-Watch, but the gadgets here are usable in pretty much any sci-fi world. I have a feeling that when Starfinder eventually hits, you'll probably still be keeping this PDF in your 'used often' gaming folder.

Occult-Tech Armory was a ton of fun to write, because I was able to work in homages to a bunch of sci-fi weapons and gadgets, in addition to the truly out of left field stuff I came up with out of nowhere.

Among my favorites:
The Nueralizer and Noisy Cricket from Men In Black.
The Rekall Machine and exploding fat woman mask from the original Total Recall.
Circuit Breaker's Armor from the Marvel Transformers comic.
Mega Man & Samas Arran's blasters.
Iron Man's implanted arc reactor.

Anyway, OTA is up at www.rpgnow.com and I put the 60 pager on sale for about three dollars. Hopefully it'll be well recieved.

My Next Book?
Right now, I've got to decide which to start gathering artwork for first. Two projects, both at roughly the same stage in the writing process, both of whom I want to see finished, and both of whom will be fun books. Do I gather art for the revised Black Tokyo character creation sourcebook first? Or do I gather art for Ultimate Fursona first?
